KLPC1600 - 1600Amp Fuse

KLPC1600 - 1600Amp Fuse

When your equipment calls for a 1600A Class L fuse, amperage is only the starting point. The KLPC1600 is a 1600A time-delay, current-limiting Class L fuse in the KLPC POWR-PRO series, rated for 600VAC and 480VDC, with bolt-in mounting. For anyone replacing an existing fuse, the takeaway is simple: don't match the KLPC1600 on 1600 amps alone. Confirm the Class L configuration, voltage, interrupting requirements, time-delay characteristic, current-limiting requirements, and bolt-in mounting against the equipment specifications.

Key Features and Benefits

• 1600A continuous current rating for equipment specifically designed around this Class L amperage.
• Class L configuration provides a clearly defined fuse class for accurate equipment matching.
• The time-delay opening characteristic is designed to accommodate temporary overcurrent conditions according to the fuse's specified time-current performance.
• KLPC series fuses provide a manufacturer-specified minimum 10-second time delay at 500% of rated current.
• The current-limiting design is intended to restrict damaging peak let-through current under applicable short-circuit conditions.
• Rated for operation up to 600VAC, subject to the electrical requirements of the equipment and circuit.
• Also rated up to 480VDC for compatible DC applications.
• Bolt-in mounting provides a defined physical installation format.
• Confirm the non-indicating configuration when matching the KLPC1600 to existing equipment.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The manufacturer identifies the KLPC series as UL Listed Class L fuses and states that the series provides a minimum 10-second time delay at 500% of rated current while maintaining current-limiting performance.

Where It Works Best

The KLPC1600 1600A fuse suits electrical equipment that requires a Class L, time-delay, current-limiting fuse with bolt-in mounting and the corresponding electrical ratings. The manufacturer positions the broader KLPC series for overcurrent protection in circuits from 200 through 6000 amperes, placing the 1600A KLPC1600 squarely within that stated series range.
